Ep 34 - The Blood Hunted

by Anton Rossini

Mon, 21 December 2020
As we exit the asylum. It is about 1:00 AM and there is no sign of Malady. Larissa wants to go back in to look for her, but Anton and Oxford agree that’s not a good idea, that the smoking building (Council Headquarters) is our biggest concern and we need to get off the streets and to a new safe house to plan our next move.
 
Anton uses Google to find a conveniently close motel - in this case, the Surfside Motor Inn. He books an Uber and rings the motel to negotiate a weekly rate for three rooms ($2000).
 
As they are walking down the street to wait for the Uber, we see Malady near an old phone box. She tells us that a Blood Hunt has been declared and we are all in extreme danger.
 
The Uber arrives and then delivers us to the motel, where Anton uses Forgetful Mind to instil a memory of the rooms being paid for.
 
We settle in our rooms for a few minutes and then meet in Larissa and Maladay’s room.
 
Malady advises that we are in mortal danger and we need to get out of the city and back to Melbourne. Anton rings Kinsley and asks her to book a private charter boat with at least three berths that can pick them up at the Gold Coast marina and cruise down to Melbourne.
Kinsley advises she will ring back in the morning to confirm the arrangement.
 
 
Malady tells the story about her dying and becoming a ghost. She was “created” around 100 years ago in Louisiana by Dr Camilla Sutton, who killed her and “made” her a ghost. Dr Sutton wanted to make Malady be like her but something went wrong.
Malady “haunted” a house that included vampires, which enraged the Prince, who subsequently told Malady that Sutton had been killed and dismembered, then banished her by boat. She landed in Australia, where she was not well received and struggled until ending up in the care of Angela (Angie - the Sheriff in Melbourne).
 
Oxford tells us the creature we encountered in the asylum was a warghoul - created out of the bodies of Oxford’s friends; we believe this was made by Dr Sutton. Oxford also tells us that Malkavians cannot create warghouls.
 
Oxford asks Malady if it’s possible she was created from a piece of Dr Sutton. Malady does not know.
 
After contemplating as a group why Sutton is so aggressively pursuing Malady, including why she has gone to the trouble of contriving to destroy the Anarch Council and implicating all of us, we retire to our rooms.
 
As evening comes, Kinsley calls to confirm the private yacht has been booked and will pick us up at the Gold Coast dock just after 8:00.
We all go hunting just after dark; Anton's specific taste mean the hunt takes a little longer than expected and he is late to the boat.
 
We expect the trip will take about 5 days.

At the last minute, Larissa decides to go shopping for "essentials". Oxford and Anton are keeping an eye out when she returns and Anton is unnerved by a sixth sense that suggest all is not right. He redirects Larissa away from the boat and suggests she may be tailed - Larissa senses a rat is following her, which she dispatches immediately and brutally (8 successes + Messy Crit). As they get on the boat and prepare for departure, Anton gives Larissa a nod of respect.
